Bound by Love: Familial Bonding in Film and Television since 1950
ISBN: 9781443829854 / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What does it mean to be bound by love? Sometimes, the bonds of love supply bliss, and sometimes they demand sacrifice. Sometimes, experiencing love saves people, and sometimes it kills them. Being bound by love often engenders moral responsibility; in other cases, it enslaves and imprisons the soul. American mythologies—especially those presented in film and television—perpetuate love as the central narrative of one’s life; the search for a connection forged by love permeates every facet of human existence, from our desire to be accepted, or our longing to be needed, to our fury at...

This collection of essays searches for how history and literature translate into filmic texts that then reflect the time and place of the translation.

Coming Out to the Mainstream is a collection of essays written from a range of perspectives, from scholars to film producers, who seek to contextualize and reframe New Queer Cinema from a 21st century perspective—decades after Stonewall, the emergence of the HIV-AIDS crisis, and the initial years of the gay marriage movement. These essays situate themselves in the 21st century as an attempt to assess what appears to be a mainstreaming of New Queer Cinema, a current wave of New Queer Cinema film that holds potential for influencing film viewers beyond the original limits of an independent...

Wit's End: Making Sense of the Great Movies
ISBN: 9781443824262 / Twarda / 375 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a study of the “Great Movies,” that fluid category of feature films deemed by various authorities—film societies, critics, academics, and movie enthusiasts—to be the enduring and memorable works of cinematic history. But what are they about? In Wit’s End, the author attempts to “make sense” of these films in order to understand their greatness in the context of their relation to other films and to the worlds they come from and recreate on screen.
To that end, we employ the conceptual power of pragmatic social theory and the rich idea of aesthesis to explore and... This book is a study of the “Great Movies,” that fluid category of feature films deemed by various authorities—film societies, critics, academic...

Andrei Tarkovsky’s Poetics of Cinema
ISBN: 9781443822183 / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. “If you look for a meaning, you’ll miss everything that happens.”
Almost twenty-five years after the death of Andrei Tarkovsky, the mystery of his films remains alive and well. Recent years have witnessed an ever-increasing number of film theorists, critics and philosophers taking up the challenge to decipher what these films actually mean. But what do these films actually show us? In this study Thomas Redwood undertakes a close formal analysis of Tarkovsky’s later films. Charting the stylistic and narrative innovations in Mirror, Stalker, Nostalghia and The Sacrifice,... “If you look for a meaning, you’ll miss everything that happens.”

Meanings of Ripley: The Alien Quadrilogy and Gender
ISBN: 9781443823395 / Twarda / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ellen Ripley of the Alien Quadrilogy has become an iconic female figure in the male dominated genre of science fiction/action/horror since her first appearance in 1979. This collection offers readers varied interpretations of Ripley that are grounded in the social context and theoretical perspectives that were dominant prior to and during the time the films were released. Specifically, the rise of Second Wave Feminism—and the backlash against it—provides a backdrop for this collection. Is Ripley a feminist hero? A patriarchal woman and mother? Does she embody de Beavoir’s “myth of the...

Authenticity and Legitimacy in Minority Theatre: Constructing Identity
ISBN: 9781443821209 / Twarda / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contemporary theatre is one of the best ways for ethno-cultural minorities to express themselves, whether they be of indigenous origin or immigrants. It is often used to denounce social injustice and discrimination and, more generally, it helps to air questions debated in the wider community. It may also express itself thanks to the staging of collective memory, for it constitutes a privileged space for the exploration of the trauma of the past (colonial, for example), as well as providing a means of effecting the reconfiguration of a new identity, or of articulating an uneasiness about that...

The Glory of the Garden: Regional Theatre and the Arts Council 1984-2009
ISBN: 9781443819763 / Twarda / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Glory of the Garden examines concepts and contexts of 'regional' theatre in an age of globalisation and cosmopolitanism. It outlines the key debates and trends in the development of regional theatre since 1984 when public subsidy became a part of a package of 'plural funding' and examines regional theatre's role in the theatrical ecology. Variously perceived as a training ground for practitioners or a career dead-end; purveyor of stale product or innovative powerhouse; a transformer of urban environments and community hub, regional theatre has been a constant source of anxiety and pride...

Censoring the 1970s: The BBFC and the Decade that Taste Forgot
ISBN: 9781443833493 / Twarda / 165 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores the work of the British Board of Film Censors in the 1970s. Throughout the decade this unelected organisation set standards of acceptability and determined what could and what could not be shown on British cinema screens. Controversial texts like A Clockwork Orange (1971), Straw Dogs (1971), The Devils (1971) and Life of Brian (1979) have been used to draw attention to the way in which the BBFC operated in the 1970s. While it is true to say that these films encountered major classification problems, what of the hundreds of other films being classified at the same time? Did...

The People’s Pictures: National Lottery Funding and British Cinema
ISBN: 9781443833073 / Twarda / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When John Major launched the UK’s National Lottery in 1994 he christened it “the people’s Lottery” and handed it to the mythical stewardship of the Everyman. But when the proceeds began to be distributed to worthy causes, including the British film industry, this populist rhetoric came under increasing strain. If Lottery funding is used to produce the type of British films which the public want to see, such as romantic comedies, then many question whether the market deserves such subsidy. Short films and low budget, experimental cinema – which often require state support – tend to...
